Ika 27. Baybayin (English version vs Tagalog version)

KA Ekspiryens

English:

Baybayin is an ancient writing system used in the Philippines before the arrival of the Spanish colonizers. It is also known as Alibata, a term coined by Paul Versoza, a Filipino scholar who believed that the script was based on Arabic characters. However, this theory has been debunked, and the correct term is Baybayin, which is derived from the Tagalog word "baybay," meaning "to spell." In this blog post, we will delve into the history, structure, and meaning behind Baybayin and discuss why it is important to preserve this cultural heritage.

Tagalog:

Ang Baybayin ay isang sinaunang sistema ng pagsulat na ginagamit sa Pilipinas bago dumating ang mga Kastila. Ito ay binubuo ng mga kudlit, titik, at patinig na sinusulat sa pamamagitan ng pag-ukit sa kahoy o bambu. Sa panahon ng mga Kastila, ang Baybayin ay napalitan ng sistema ng pagsulat ng Latin, ngunit ang halaga nito bilang isang bahagi ng kulturang Pilipino ay hindi nagbago.
